New 2012 Honda Fireblade pictures leaked

These are the first photos of Honda’s 2012 Fireblade. Besides the new angular styling, the bike has Big Piston Forks, new rear suspension, new clocks and lightweight wheels. Those hoping for a V4 will be disappointed, as the engine appears almost identical to this year’s model. Also, there are no signs of any traction control – the switchgear has no extra...

globa; recession

there is no way honda will build v4 in this climate

as for blade it is a great bike already, cant see them spending massive development costs at present on a totally new model when sports sales are receeding

i think the new blade will be an enhancement on the existing base model

for sure we wont have to wait long to find out if this picture is fake

Questions - Miffed !

As sadi, anyone know why this bike would end up in a dealer in Hong Kong ?

I'd that maybe were the journos will be testing, hense the bike being there, although i doubt it.

The bikes gotta be legit, glaring at the photos, the finish etc is perfect looking to me.

Anyone in MCN got any answers, i am sure you have been talking to someone from Honda at this stage?

fireblade

I recon this is a hoax. Its just to much like the existing blade. Exhaust, tail-light, swingarm, mirrors, etc, etc. Only the fairing is really differant. I recon its a very clever "makeover".
